as if crafted suprs are worth something

Will still rather use my only free Herc nonetheless.

Final Exam Hercs, they served their purpose just fine, why would we waste crafted ships lmao

[Determining your position on the map]

Be happy we have a perk for folks to use, we had to fight to get that for the casuals and new players.  They removed all grid/map references at one time to make it hard core.  You can always close your eyes click on the map and pretend there was a delay?

Alright. It's not like it's that massive of a difference, in a game with so many hardcore elements I don't see how this in particular would bother somebody that much, newbie or not.

[Determining your position on the map]

Hello, I was thinking that instead of the GPS-esque sextant perk it would be more interesting to implement a small script that would mark your current position on the map if you stop the ship in the OW for 30ish seconds; maybe add a small countdown on the map screen or a loading bar somewhere in the corner, and if the ship is stopped and you open the map, that counter will count 30 seconds after which your current position will be marked on the map. And personally I would make this available to everyone without using up a perk slot

Cheers

[Error when exiting the game]

Hello, for a few months now I've had this error popping up whenever I click exit game, there are no crashes while I'm playing so that's good but I was just curious if anyone else's ran into anything like this. It's still happening after 1 reinstall, I'm on Win7 Ultimate x64 and i didn't have this issue until a few months ago

 

[Exciting times ahead - pre-release wipes information]

I agree with Banished suggestion; give the XP back gradually to those who already have the maximum rank, no one should have to do the grind all over again for their ranks, ship xp and crafting xp. There will always be newbies, and they will always get slaughtered by experienced players sooner or later, and so full wipes would only serve to piss people off, and the majority I've already talked to are indeed pissed off over this decision. If you think this won't drive many players away from the game, or that the release will bring forth a renaissance of new players then you're just delusional.

but what about complaints that sailing is boring. Wont NPCs actually help the player to actually do something while sailing like evading hotspots or checking a horizon from time to time?

Personally I think it would only make it even more bothersome, like adding fuel to the fire, but that's just me, I'd hate it

NPC aggresion sounds like a really bad idea, imagine pulling a big chunk of cargo, barely pulling 11 kts while constantly running into random npcs from time to time who will attempt to tag you on sight, it's only gonna make everything more bothersome
